Preseason Game #4:FIRE vs. San Jose 2/9/13 8:00pm (chicago-fire.com)

Four more players to play their first minutes in preseason, Johnson, Friedrich, Nyarko and Duka. Alex willing missing, due to him getting married (congrats), won't rejoin the team to phase 3 of preseason in Charleston, S.C.

So if all four are fit and ready to play this is who will probably be starting tonight.

According to the game notes, people from the reserve match will be available for the second 4o minute half. Presumably 12 subs, since Frank said some people will get a half, some 60 mintues, and some the whole 80.

My guess is Johnson goes the full 80, since Tornaghi getting game time in the reserves

Back four will be Sega, Arne, Berry, and Pause or Kinney. My guess is whichever doesn't start at right back will get the second 40. Anibaba will probably play 20 or so at CB for Arne. Berry might go 80. Sega might get replaced by a trialist after 60, don't know who is a left back though

Midfield will be Nyarko, Lindpere, Larentowicz and a toss up between Duka and Atouba. I'd prefer Atouba, to see what he is like with the big boys, since he has looked so good in the second halves of games. The other will get the second half Paladini and Thompson might get 20 minutes each for Larentowicz and Nyarko. Bone probably comes in for Lindpere at some point

Forwards will be MacDonald and Rolfe. I suppose Amerikwa might get some time in the second half, though I'd prefer they both went 80.
